<a href="http://www.farmmresearch.com">Architecture students from McGill University</a> have finally completed ContemPLAY - an extraordinarily complex piece of twisted street furniture. Using digital parametric design tools, which apply geometric principles to fixed dimensions, the team designed a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Möbius_strip">Möbius strip</a> clad in moiré lattice. This awesome pavilion is located on McGill University's campus in Montreal and provides students with a peaceful space to take a break from their studies.
